The online poker world was buzzing this weekend about the launch of PokerTracker 3, the latest installment from one of the top poker software programs available. If you’re not familiar with PokerTracker, you should be. After all, the people you’re playing with use it; you should be too. Here are some of the features that make PokerTracker a must have:
- You can keep a log of your cash game and tournament play across the major online poker sites. PokerStars , Full Tilt Poker, Party Poker, iPoker Network sites, Everest Poker, and others are all compatible with PokerTracker. You’ll be able to track your profits much easier from one central program.
- PokerTracker allows you to filter your stats by what hole cards you had, including stats for the number of times you saw the flop, raised, and raked in cash.
- PokerTracker allows you to filter your stats by position and session. The bottom line is that you’ll have an in-depth look at what areas of your game are strong and what areas need improvement.
- If you’re a visual person, PokerTracker 3 includes complete graphing capabilities and even a hand replayer. You can review individual hands, sessions, or tournaments, which makes the process of learning from your mistakes much simpler.
PokerTracker 3 includes faster hand imports and searching capabilities, meaning you can have graphs, stats, and in-depth analysis displayed at your fingertips in seconds. There’s a built-in HUD and an improved graphical interface.
If you’d rather hear an endorsement of PokerTracker 3 from a professional poker player, check out these comments from Chris “Fox” Wallace. He comments on the features of PokerTracker 3: “I think the fact that the software is so fast now, and can handle a much larger database, is really the biggest improvement. I've already done some interesting queries with a big database of hands and discovered some things about the game I didn't know and could not have discovered without being able to use a much bigger database very quickly.”
There are several database analysis programs out there, so why buy PokerTracker 3? Fox explains: “PT3 absolutely smokes version 2, it's a vastly improved program. The question is not how well it stacks up against PT2; the real question is how it stacks up against Holdem Manager, its only real competition at this point. The two programs are so far ahead of anything else that it might as well be a two horse race. I'm still doing research, but it looks to me like you can't go wrong with either one.”
PokerTracker 3 comes with a free 30 day trial. If you’d like to purchase the product, it’s $89.99 or you can get it for free at PokerSourceOnline.com.
